Dépèche transmise le 18 novembre 2010 par PRNewswire

DUBAI, November 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Chartering Empty Legs is becoming increasingly popular in the Air Charter industry and known for being a quick and easy way to travel at a fraction of the original cost. By offering empty legs, aircraft operators create an effective way to increase their profit margins as they optimize an available sector on a flight that has already been commissioned for another client.

"Empty Leg" is essentially a term used to describe a flight made by a commercial aircraft without any cargo or paying passengers on board. Companies like Air Charter International that specialize in commercial aviation realize the significance of Empty Legs in the market and understand its important role in the private jet world as many executive travelers take advantage of flying at a rate that is up to 40% less than the actual cost.

"At Air Charter International we do our best to supply our clients with empty legs so that they can benefit from the price as well as travel in luxury and comfort", said Claire Brugirard, Manager of the Charter Sales team at Air Charter International.

Air Charter International has also invested in this Empty Leg charter market by making the Empty Legs accessible to their clients online. "We now give clients direct access to worldwide Empty Legs", confirmed Ms. Brugirard. "The empty legs we show on our site are LIVE and instantly updated directly via the operator's scheduling system".

Air Charter has capitalized in this recent market interest in Empty Legs by chartering a host of Empty Leg flights themselves. One particular flight was a cargo charter to Dushanbe. Air Charter International managed to find cargo on the way back to the UAE on the return flight therefore providing the client with a much lower rate than full charter.

"The great thing about the Empty Leg concept is that both client and operator stand to benefit from it", said Ms. Brugirard, "Operators have a chance to increase their revenue whereas clients are able to fly at a much lower cost".

With this in mind Air Charter International is concentrating on providing clients the best standard of service and the most competitive rates for all Empty Leg flights. For more information feel free to visit
